After I was first born <br />And I found myself <br />When I first learned to stand <br />And then shuffle to the left. <br />I got started walking <br />And learned my A B C's <br />I then went to school <br />It was like shooting the breeze. <br />I Thought I Was Everything To Me. <br /> <br />I got a little older <br />And when I'd get new clothes <br />I'd go strutting like a turkey <br />So everybody would know. <br />Then I learned how to drive <br />I even bought a new car <br />I would drive around town <br />Somebody said It must be a star. <br />I Thought I Was Everything To Me. <br /> <br />But I grew up in church <br />Reading God's Holy Word <br />And thinking things made someone <br />Was totally absurd. <br />I found who God really is <br />Walking daily by lessons of His Son <br />For the brightest Star that shines <br />Christ is the only One. <br />I Thought.. I Was Everything To Me. <br /> <br />God created everything <br />Without Him there would be no me <br />No love nor compassion <br />No hope for this world to see. <br />And the worst thing in life <br />I could have ever done <br />Was to overlook or deny my Savior <br />God's only Begotten Son. <br />Because I Thought I Was Everything To Me. <br /> <br />I've never made nothing <br />I don't own anything <br />There's nothing I've created <br />Not even the voice in the song I sing. <br />How can one get so confused <br />By just walking and looking around <br />Everything was already here <br />Even space and the tinest sound. <br />And I Thought I Was Everything To Me.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-thought-i-was-everything-to-me/
